The Common man may not be conversant with the legality of a case in general or the road accident rules. Some basic knowledge may facilitate in defending the case. In a road accident case, the police might issue car forfeiture orders sometimes. The SA Supreme Court recently held that the constitutional provision pertaining to the forfeiture of the vehicle is invalid, though the vehicle may be impounded for a certain period. There is no option for the court to reject the application and also the forfeiture would amount to double punishment.
Hit and run compensation can be claimed even in case the driver at fault is not traceable in the case of a road accident. The onus to prove that 'due inquiry and search' did not yield any fruitful results is to be proved by the claimant. In such a situation, 'Nominal Defendant' becomes the party and the compensation is admissible from the corpus created under the Compulsory Third Party Insurance Scheme.
The provisions of the Wills Act clearly stipulate "whether a will have to be witnessed? The Will duly signed by the testator should be attested by at least two witnesses which becomes an enforceable document. Such a document establishes the genuineness of the will and also relieves the witnesses of the doubt as far as their integrity and honesty is concerned.
In case of a violation of traffic regulation, the police issues a ticket as 'on-the-spot-fine'. If you fail to remit the fee, an expiation notice is issued by the lawyer. Failure of payment of fee is also liable for prosecution by the magistrate. Though you are the rightful owner of the vehicle and someone was driving the vehicle at the time of the accident, the driver is liable for legal action. You may represent the case through a speeding ticket lawyer to defend the case.
In case the police opines that the person needs protection, they may issue the intervention order. In case you desire to contest, you should appear before the magistrate within a period of 8 days to get an intervention order revoked, modified or substituted. There is no provision of 'expiry period' in the order and it has to be revoked by the authority.
"When is a defendant awarded the costs?" is the question stirring many of you. The court may decide the fit case for such an award as per the Summary Procedure Act. The ambiguity of the provision is cleared by the Supreme Court in a recent decision that every successful defendant in generally eligible for costs to be reimbursed. Only the exceptional reasons and strong ground would attract denial of such award to the successful defendant.
